Devotees in orange saffron clothing perform a ritual before a deity murti of a standing figure decorated with a crown, jewelled necklaces and a garland of green, white and blue flowers, set beneath a golden arch under an orange silk canopy with silver spangles. A figure in the foreground with long dark hair and an orange robe kneels before the deity, while a man in white with an orange shawl stands at right and other saffron-clad men hold up the canopy at the sides. Two smaller murtis stand flanking the central figure, and a silver staff is visible at the left edge. The scene appears to be an outdoor deity worship.
